117: Chapter 117 The Twelfth Layer of the Void

Roger and his group were not the only army to invade Lin Xiao's territory.

Within just one day, Lin Xiao's territory was invaded seven times; among them, three invasions came from Sin Clan Lords, two from Shadow Race Lords, and two more came from a Purgatory Race Lord and a Bull Demon Race Lord respectively.

The Four Great Races had each sent at least one lord to invade Lin Xiao's territory.

This frequency of invasion was comparable to when he was targeted in the First Source Sea, which was clearly abnormal.

"As expected, the Four Great Races have begun their retaliation against me."

Lin Xiao knew this clearly.

In the First Source Sea, Third-Tier Lords were the highest Rank, and their numbers were the fewest; however, in the Second Source Sea, Fourth-order Lords were the lowest Rank, and their numbers were the greatest.

For the Human Race alone, after long periods of accumulation, the number of Fourth-order Lords was in the hundreds of millions.

With such a vast number of Fourth-order Lords, it was normally quite common not to be invaded for ten days or half a month.

Yet Lin Xiao had been invaded seven times in a single day.

This was enough to show that the Four Great Races were launching a frenzied retaliation against him.

Although they could use more powerful methods in the Second Source Sea, the number of Human Race Fourth-order Lords was so large that the difficulty for them to invade Lin Xiao's territory would not be lower than in the First Source Sea.

Otherwise, the number of times Lin Xiao's territory had been invaded would at least have an extra zero attached to it.

These seven invasions were all easily resolved by Lin Xiao.

Most were resolved by a single long-range shot from the earth meteor cannon, while other invading armies appeared on the west and north sides of the territory.

They encountered the Burning Sky Flame Dragon and Frost Giant waiting in the Red Lotus Domain and Frost Domain, and their main armies were easily wiped out by the latter.

If it weren't for Lin Xiao wanting to keep some alive, these invaders would have been completely annihilated long ago.

"They aren't very strong; they are all ordinary Fourth-order Lords."

Lin Xiao muttered.

There wasn't a single Level 5 Lord.

This was actually quite normal.

The difficulty for a Level 5 Lord to search for a Fourth-order Lord was certainly far greater than that of a Fourth-order Lord.

Unless Lin Xiao had terrible luck, it wouldn't be that easy for him to be found by a Level 5 Lord.

Only when his territory coordinates were exposed would it be time for Level 5 Lords to invade on a large scale.

As for them all being ordinary lords, that was not strange either.

In the Second Source Sea, only those with Epic Grade heroes and Troop Types were considered veteran lords.

Epic Grade heroes and Troop Types were not cheap cabbages.

After all, in the First Source Sea, the Four Great Races only had a few dozen lords in total who possessed Epic Grade heroes and Troop Types.

Even with the accumulation of time and the higher probability of obtaining Epic Grade items in the Second Source Sea, it was impossible for the number to suddenly increase by hundreds or thousands of times.

Moreover, lords at this level generally leveled up quickly and would not stay long at a Level 4 territory.

Therefore, regardless of the race, the vast majority of Fourth-order Lords would only be ordinary lords.

The higher one went, the more powerful lords there would be.

...

As for his own safety, Lin Xiao was not worried for the time being.

Weakness period?

It did not exist.

He had just upgraded, and he could already annihilate a Fifth-order army, let alone a Fourth-order army.

All of them were Epic Grade, and some heroes and Troop Types even possessed Fifth-order attributes...

With such strength, it was a dimensionality reduction strike among Fourth-order Lords.

Not to mention that his territory's strength was becoming stronger every moment.

Whether the invading Fourth-order armies came from ordinary lords or veteran lords, it made no difference to him.

He would kill as many as came.

Once he upgraded to a Level 5 territory, or was invaded by a Level 5 Lord, that would be the true challenge.

"Level 5 territory."

Lin Xiao's heart stirred; he opened the territory panel and looked at the upgrade conditions.

Source Crystal 1 billion, food 100 million units, wood 100 million units, stone 100 million units, iron ore 10 million units...

Territory Size: 1,000 square kilometers

Population: 1 million

Heroes: 5

Buildings: 10 Level 4 buildings, 20 total buildings.

Lords Heart: 3

Subsequently, he looked at his own territory attributes.

[Territory: Eternal Divine Domain]

[Territory Rank: Level 4]

[Territory Size: 7,500 square kilometers]

[Population: 1 million / 1 million]

[Heroes: 5 / 5]

[Buildings: Lords Mansion (Level 4), Blazing Dragon Nest (Level 4), Frost Fortress (Level 4), Storm Camp (Level 4), Rock Fortress (Level 4), enlightenment mountain (Level 4), Eye of Truth (Level 4), gravity magic well (Level 4), star dome barrier (Level 4), earth meteor cannon (Level 4), falling star magic tower (Level 4), Spiritual Vein... Lightning Cannon (Level 4), Thunder Flame Magic Tower (Level 4)... lingyun terrace (Level 4), Spirit Light Valley (Level 4), tianxiu peak (Level 4), Flame Turret (Level 4)...]

During this day, Lin Xiao was not idle.

While dealing with the invasions, he also upgraded all the buildings in the territory that could be upgraded.

At this moment, among the various conditions for upgrading to a Level 5 territory, buildings, heroes, population, and territory size had all been met; although the basic resources required were many, they were the easiest to obtain.

With so much loot in his hands, Lin Xiao could just sell some of it to exchange for more basic resources, so this condition had also been completed.

He only had one condition left to upgrade to a Level 5 territory, and that was three Lords Heart.

With his strength, wanting to obtain three Lords Heart could be said to be effortless.

As long as he was willing, he could execute all the captives and flatten three territories at the fastest speed, and he would be able to upgrade to a Level 5 territory.

"No rush."

"Wait a few more days."

Lin Xiao was calm; there were still a few days left until the first month's ranking settlement.

He prepared to delay the upgrade for a while.

Let the strength of his heroes and Troop Types become even stronger.

After all, he really wasn't under much pressure now, but once he reached a Level 5 territory, it would be unlikely to have such a relaxed environment.

Seize the time to become as strong as possible.

Even if it meant wasting more Cultivate and growth resources, it was worth it.

Time passed quickly.

"Hmm, the 12th Layer of the Void Lands has connected to the territory?"

Suddenly, Lin Xiao's heart stirred, and he looked towards the edge of the territory.

"Just in time."

Lin Xiao's spirits lifted.

Others would fear connecting to the Void Land and would try every possible way to delay this process, but Lin Xiao was eager for it.

Those Void Monsters represented incredibly rich slaughter points.

Up until now, Lin Xiao's largest source of slaughter points still came from Void Monsters; their numbers were simply too numerous.

If it weren't for the fact that the Void Monsters in higher layers of the Void Land were more numerous and gave more slaughter points, Lin Xiao would have wanted to keep the monster nests intact and farm the Void Monsters...

As for now, he would definitely continue to push forward into the layers of the Void Land, as the gains obtained were far higher than farming.

Only when the threat of the Void Land became so great that even Lin Xiao couldn't resolve it would he consider stopping to farm the Void Monsters and harvest a steady stream of slaughter points.
